I am Most open to give anything a try , Heck , I wouldn't mind getting a little green for my time, and I have no idea how it would work out one way or the other, I have been given things in the past by folks I have helped out, I kind of liked the you scratch my back I'll scratch yours way of doing things but nothing wrong with scratching the Palm of the hand. The only question I have is who would be the one in charge of the instruction, As a volunteer I am the one who pretty much dictates how I will be teaching and pretty much by my schedule, or the club schedule, What would be the relationship if you are being PAID by the student ? Does this now empower the student to make more demands on the instructor? Should we consider this more like Education or a Service ? I wonder what kind of attitudes we would have to deal with from the "Have it Now" crowd ? I guess sense our club does require membership to both AMA and the Club for a total cost of about $103 to receive instruction from the club we are in fact charging a fee, and it seems to be O.K. By the way our program also includes some "How To" classes before the club meetings. But all our instructors are volunteers , and we can and do provide instruction on other days if arrangements are are made with one of the instructors.

I am like many folks that have a family and full time job, A home to take care of and a wife with a Honey Do list longer than a 1/4 scale B29 wing span. I find it much harder to volunteer to be an instructor these days and still find time to do my own modeling, In fact Its getting hard to make the meetings and trainer night because I work nights. I believe our clubs system works pretty well but I can certainly see where some clubs are not set up for this kind of thing and perhaps paid instructors could be the answer, Now , Where do we go from HERE ? What would the AMAs part be in this ? Later Guys
